Instructions
Creating Caramelized Mushroom Pasta is straightforward! Follow these simple steps:
1. Cook Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
3. Sauté Onions: Add chopped onions to the skillet and cook until they are translucent, about 3 minutes.
4. Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Caramelize Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until golden brown and caramelized, approximately 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
6. Add Cream: Pour in heavy cream and allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Incorporate Cheese: Mix in grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and well combined.
8. Combine Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing well to coat the noodles with the creamy mushroom sauce. Adjust seasoning if needed.
9. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
